Welcome back to you all. I do hope that you had a great Summer holiday and are back feeling refreshed and ready for some hard work!
A special welcome to our new Reception children and their parents . I must say that they have all settled into school life very quickly. Well Done!
Class 4P Swimming This starts tomorrow afternoon and continues until Christmas. If you have not yet done so please return the permission slip and money by tomorrow. Also please ensure that your child has the correct swimming kit in school every Friday ready for these lessons.
Dinner Money As you are aware we now have a new catering contract in place. Dinner money is now £1.93 per day and should be in every Monday morning in a clearly marked envelope with your child's name and class on it. If paying by cheque please make them payable to London Borough of Redbridge and not ISSC as previously instructed and put the name of the school and your cheque guarantee number on the back. The company will not provide any school lunches without prior payment so please ensure that we receive all payments promptly on Monday morning.
Photographs Occasionally in school we take photos of the children for purposes such as display or presentations. If you have any objections to this please send a letter in via the school office. Thank you.
Breakfast/After School Club Please note places must be booked in advance via the relevant form and payment also needs to be made in advance.
